The international flavour of Brighton Festival continues as the Dome venues host further musical sensations.

The WorldWide programme begins with guitarist Mose Fan Fan on June 5, at the Pavilion Theatre. One of the pioneers of soukous, he was a key member of Zaire's OK Jazz, before forming his group Somo Somo.

Of the many superstar Senegalese musicians to have emerged, Baaba Maal has, perhaps, the greatest mystique of all.

Feted for extrovert funky recordings such as Firin' In Fouta to the recent acoustic triumph Missing You, he appears at the Dome with the 1 Giant Leap audio-visual spectacular on June 7.

Last year's festival appearance won many followers for Peruvian Susana Baca's glorious voice. She returns to the Dome on June 28, with the same hypnotic backing.

She also brings with her New Yorkers Marc Ribot, (guitarist for several of Tom Waits' classics among others) and John Medeski on Hammond organ, as heard on her stunning new CD Espiritu Vivo.

The support from Madredeus should create another sensation as this Portugese sextet features another lead vocalist with a magnificent voice, Teresa Salgueiro.

One of many delights discovered by the Buena Vista Social Club phenomenon is double bassist Orlando "Cachaito" Lopez, who would surely have emerged regardless.

Appearing at the Dome on July 7, he drives his band with the verve of revered bassist Charles Mingus, whose music is often quoted on Cachaito's albums.

Cachaito's earlier appearances are the stuff of legend, including guest slots from major artists such as ex-James Brown sax man Pee Wee Ellis.

On July 1, in the middle of their world tour, US latin/hip-hop sensations Ozomatli look set to bring the Dome stage alive as no-one else has yet done.

Reflecting the diversity of their vibrant Los Angeles background, the music and players have roots in six different nationalities, all bar the Aztecs who provide the band's name.

Ernest Ranglin is at the Dome on July 26 and needs little introduction.

As the godfather of Jamaican music, he unassumingly laid down the foundations of rocksteady and ska, working with Jimmy Cliff and Jackie Mittoo, and mentoring Bob Marley, who revered him. He also became the toast of the US and UK jazz scene. One of his breakthrough recordings, In Search Of The Lost Riddim', is a Senegalese tribute featuring Baaba Maal.

There's a rare appearance from UK piano sensation Jason Rebello in support.
